BANTAM, Conn. -- A groom was arrested during the reception to his wedding on charges of sexual assault.

The owner of La Cupola restaurant in Bantam, Frank Rosa, told Eyewitness News that a wedding reception at his restaurant got out of hand earlier in the month.

Police allege the groom, Oscar Carpio, 32, was found with a bridesmaid in a room he and his bride had rented. According to police, Carpio was found wearing very little clothing.

"It was pretty bad that things happened that way," Rosa said.

Rosa said that Carpio then became involved in a fight with the bridesmaid's husband.

Rosa said that alcohol played a large factor in the groom ending up with someone other than his new wife.

"I never had something like that happen -- never," Rosa said. "This is a friendly place … we're a reputation place."

Carpio, an engineer for a New York City firm, pleaded not guilty to charges of fourth-degree sex assault and disorderly conduct.

Neither Carpio nor his attorney could be reached for comment.
